- Darren et al. on the left-handed thing... you perform some functions
- right handed because you were "taught" that way. However, I can do
- absolutely NOTHING with my left hand (I'm right handed) - regardless
- of how I would be taught. Not that I don't believe you - maybe you
- were taught and can therefore use your right hand for certain functions;
- however, would you easily switch to your left hand on these things, i.e.,
- COULD you bat left handed? Could you use szissors (I've never learned to
- spell that word) with your left hand also?
-
- My thinking is that if you can then great but if you CAN'T and you are
- obviously left dominant, then maybe this is yet another phenomena that
- involves some sort of hard wiring (like language before puberty kind of
- thing). Thoughts? Jennifer (CO) Sorry for the babbling and disorganized
- form of my thoughts - I have a cold and my cognitive functions are impaired.
